Call the Fire Department...

Because someone's game is on fire!

We can all see and feel when someone's game is smoking hot.

Whether it's in our own lives, someone else's, even a company or a team.

Sports is a great example...once a person or a team is firing on all
cylinders, they go on unstoppable streaks, and can't seem to lose.

What's the difference between being cold and "on fire"?

When the training, focus, intent and passion...have become one.

Impossible?

Some don't listen.

In 1954, doctors and scientist said no one can run a mile under 4
minutes. Our bone structure was wrong, wind resistance was too great,
our hearts could not take the strain and our lungs were inadequate.

Roger Bannister wasn't listening. He trained his 25 year old body and
mind with thousands of laps of training.

On May 6th, 1954, he reached the finish line and the stop watch told a
different story - 3 minutes 59.4 seconds.

46 days later, his record was broken by another runner - by the end of
1957, 16 runners ran the mile in under 4 minutes, and 4700 times since.

In the few short years when the record was repeatedly broken, the
runners didn't suddenly "get better" - they simply began to believe.

Being a Champion...

Often times, makes one stand out.

And why not? Being a Champion usually means that there has been a lot
of study, training and preparation in whatever the Champion has chosen
to excel at.

A Champion can either be born with talent or develop some pretty sweet
skills that makes them "Best in Class"...and many times, they become a
target for those who aspire to become better than them.

That's why some of us stay "small" - so we blend in - without a target
on our back, and have no fear of being beaten - yet no chance of Glory
either.

Let's go Big and become our own Champion - it may feel uncomfortable at
first, standing out for a while, but we'll get over it.
